The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In County Durham we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not being aware of the way to use it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to switch on the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Whenever you get in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the practical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
